This invention relates to brackets for use in supporting curtain rods and shades, and the objects of the invention are to provide a one-piece bracket, of simple, ornamental, and

5 rigid construction, which may be readily applied to and secured in the desired position upon a window frame or the like, the bracket being designed to support a straight curtain rod for carrying a lace curtain rod,

l0 a bow-end rod for carrying an overdrape and provided with notches for receiving the pintles of a shade roller` y The above and other objects are attained by constructing the bracket in the manner U illustrated in the accompanying` drawing, in

which- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a bracket embodying the invention; and

Fig. 2 a plan view of two brackets supporting the rods and shade roller.

Similar numerals refer to similar parts throughout the drawing.

The bracket, as shown in Fig. 1, is preferably forrned or stamped from a single sheet or plate of metal, being of substantially S- shape, as shown at 1, and provided with the angular attaching ears 2 at the upper and lower portions of the rear edge thereof, these ears being provided with apertures- 3 to receive screws, tacks or the like, as shown at 4..

The horizontal upper edge portion of each bracket is rolled as shown at 5, and is split for a portion of the way from its forward edge, forming the arm 6 which is bent inward at right angles to the normal plane. of the bracket, terminating in the angular ear 7 parallel to the attaching stud and having a substantially U-shaped notch 8 in its upper edge.

The rolled portion thus extends outward beyond the arm 6, forming a cylindrical attaching stud 9 adapted to receive the bowed end portions 10 of a rod 11, adapted to carry any suitable kind of overdrape, while a straight rod 12, adapted to carry a lace curtain, is supported in the notches 8 of the angular ears 7 The lower leg of the S-shaped body portion of each bracket, is provided with a notch 13 extending through its upper edge to receive the adjacent pintle 14 of a shade roller 15.

In applying the bracket as shown in Fig. 2, one bracket is attached by the nails 4, through the ears 2, to each side of the window frame, the arms 6 being directed toward each other,whereby the rod 12 carrying the lace i curtain will be concealed by the bow-end rod 11 carrying the overdrape.

rlhe shade roller 15 is also concealed by the overdrape, thus making afvery neat onepiece fixture adapted to support the curtain, overdrape and shade roller.
